"For 80 cents?" (Italian: "Per 80 centesimi?") is an oil painting by Italian artist Angelo Morbelli, created in 1895. The work is part of Morbelli's social realism period, during which he focused on the plight of the poor and the working class in Italy at the end of the 19th century. The painting is a poignant example of Divisionism, a technique related to Pointillism, characterized by the use of distinct dots or dashes of color to create an image. Morbelli was among the leading figures of the Divisionist movement, which sought to infuse modern scientific theories about color and vision into art.

The painting's title refers to the meager sum of 80 cents, highlighting the economic hardships faced by the subjects depicted. It portrays elderly rice weeders in the Po Valley, who were known to work under strenuous conditions for minimal pay. The composition captures the exhaustion and resignation of the workers, with a focus on their bent figures and the monotonous, repetitive nature of their labor. Morbelli's use of light and color underscores the intensity of the midday sun and the heat of the environment, further emphasizing the harshness of the workers' situation.

"For 80 cents?" is considered a significant work in Morbelli's oeuvre and an important example of Italian Divisionism. The painting is often noted for its social commentary, as well as its technical execution, which demonstrates the artist's commitment to portraying the realities of contemporary life with both empathy and scientific precision. The work is housed in the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan, Italy, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical relevance.
